 Space Jam Space Jam Quote: Space Jam is a 1996 American live-action/animated family sports comedy film starring Michael Jordan and Wayne Knight, as well as the cast of the Looney Tunes. The movie also marks the debut of Lola Bunny. It was produced by Ivan Reitman, and directed by Joe Pytka (live-action), Tony Cervone, and Bruce W. Smith (animation).
The film was released theatrically by Warner Bros. Family Entertainment on November 15, 1996. There was also a licensed pinball game by Sega based on the film and a video game by Acclaim Entertainment. It plays out as an alternate story of Michael's initial return to basketball, this time with him being inspired by Bugs Bunny and others. Although the film received mixed reviews overall, it was a box office success, opening at #1 in the US, and grossing over $230 million worldwide. It was also the fastest-selling home entertainment subject as sales reached $100 million.

Not as awful as some people say. It's actually pretty funny in some parts, and is way better than some recent kid movies. Wayne Knight was great.
But, since of my love for Who Framed Roger Rabbit, I usually like cartoon-live action movies more than they should be liked.
Grade: B

It has been so long since I saw it. Hard to review. I remember not liking it the first time, but enjoying it the second time I saw it.
Right now I'd have to go with a solid B.

I enjoyed this movie alot. I really didn't like when Michael Jordan was onscreen, but when the classic cartoon characters were onscreen they always stole the show. I was very entertaining, and fun to watch.

I went to the premiere of this with my family. This is where I met Michael Jordan. This is one of my childhood favorites.

Haha, yes, I cant' believe everyone loved this movie, but I don't mind. Haven't seen it in years, but as a 9 nine year old I loved it.

Bleh. Dante's movie was not perfect, but it wasn't as much of a crass commercial as this one.

Was probably my favorite movie with Aladdin and Lion King when I was a kid. I could watch it countless times and not get tired. I mean how can you not love Michael Jordan saving the Looney Tunes? B

Absolutely terrible. Completely ignored the personalities of the Loony Toons characters, and seems to be nothing more than a marketing ploy. "Hey, the kids like Jordan, right? And rap music? And Bill Murray!" Simply awful.
I think anyone who has fond memories is reliving their childhood and if they watched it today they would see how dreadful it really is.

This movie isnt very good, but is great for kids.
But Bill Murray is histerical for the 5 minutes hes in this movie.
"OK, Girl Bunny, you take the ball and you lead it off to the guy bunny. Guy Bunny you throw it down to Michael. Michael you go down to the whole and you dominate!"
-Bill were on defense.
"Whoa Whoa Whoa, I dont do defense."

Re: Space Jam I dunno, I always kinda dug this film. Even though MJ is a terrible actor.

Re: Space Jam Great animation but story is uninteresting and the looney tunes have almost nothing to do. Was fine movie to fall asleep to on my flight.
